My first PC build in 10 years

Hi peeps!

The last time i built a PC was over 10 years ago, so yeah... I feel like a scrub.

I was hoping some of you could look at this and see if there is anything obvious i should change or need.
List: pcpartpicker
Some questions: 
650W PSU enough? Too mutch?
Do i need extra fans or cables?
Just plug in a windows 10 usb stick and go?

nothing needed

you don't need an AIO with Ryzen, a nice and beefy air cooler will do for OC

850W PSU from SeaSonic is on sale, cheaper and just as good (maybe slightly worse but whatever) quality, cheaper

case suffocates components

switched to SATA SSD

 

MOST IMPORTANTLY GOT GTX 1080 FOR LESS BECAUSE GTX 1070 IS CRAZY INFLATED

PCPartPicker will list the max wattage your computer will ever reach. In your case, it seems to be 344W. 650W is more than enough to last you for a while.

 

My primary suggestion is to replace the 1070 with a 1080. The 1070 is outrageously priced due to the recent Cryptocurrency craze. I would take a look at the Gigabyte GTX 1080 Windforce. It's actually cheaper than the 1070. Everything else I would say was already suggested by @JDE.

Make sure to quote me or use @PorkishPig to notify me that you replied!

Thank you so so mutch!

Since i live in Norway im limited to 2-3 retailers, and the prices are messed up.
I found the 1080 and it costs 13$ more than the 1070. (thx <3).
Only one of the retailers had this GPU at a lower price, the others had it at 125 $ more...
The CPU cooler is not available for me, but i found this. It's not listed on PCPartPicker for some reason.
The SSD you listed is not available too me. But this is.

The case you listed is not in stock until october :(

There was a option of a "upgrade pack" including the CPU, motherboard and 3200Mhz memory. The 1700 is not even listed on there, only the 1700x. 

List on the retailers site. 2.000$ !!

 

Yeah, so shopping for PC parts in Norway is a headache..
